Kris currently has $190 and plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends this summer She wants at least $1,625 by the end of the summer Write and solve an inequality for the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend Which answer choice best interprets the solution in the context of the problem?
A. Kris needs $179.38 more to meet her goal
B. Kris needs $13.13 each hour to meet her goal
C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal
D. Kris needs to earn $105 more to meet her goal
Let's denote the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend as "x".
The total amount of money Kris currently has is $190.
Over the course of 8 weekends, Kris will earn a total of 8x.
To meet her goal of at least $1,625, the inequality can be expressed as:
190 + 8x ≥ 1625
Simplifying the inequality:
8x ≥ 1435
x ≥ 1435/8
x ≥ 179.38
Therefore, Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
The answer choice that best interprets the solution in the context of the problem is C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
